Riley Ghiles I.'s Linkedin Analytics

I was born in an African village without running water. Decades later, I pitched My startup Steve Ballmer. Consulted for Microsoft, Google, WHO, Aramco, and IBM.... Nearly raised $1M from Elon Musk. Then I walked away. After earning my Master’s in Computer Science, I jumped straight into startups, because I didn’t want to be a salaryman. I built in education, healthtech, fintech, medtech, and gaming. And every time, I hit the same wall: I could build, but I couldn’t get people to buy. I made the same mistake most technical founders make: I built great products no one wanted. I expected traction to appear out of thin air. So I paused everything and joined the founding team of a new business unit inside a major US tech company. We scaled it from 4 people to 80. Generated nearly $40M in direct revenue. And I finally learned the part I was missing: → Marketing. Positioning. Distribution. Execution. Now I help technical 1st time founders avoid the mistakes I made for years. Using my S.T.A.R.R. Method, I guide solo founders from messy ideas to focused execution and from $0 to $12K MRR. 📈 $585K+ generated by clients in 6 months in 2024 ✅ 95% success rate ⚠️ Life’s too short to build something nobody wants And full transparency? I’m still building too. The same system I use with my clients, I apply to my own business in real time. I don’t preach from the sidelines. I do the work, in the kitchen with them. That’s how I know it works. 💡 If you’re building but no one’s buying, let’s fix that. 🧭 DM me “STARR” or take the Free Founder Compass quiz to see where you’re stuck.
